This article is mostly for middle school, the first year to be exact. The impression you make on the first day of school can make or break your year, based on what the other kids think of you, what your teacher thinks of you, and whether or not you will make friends. It sounds very shallow, but kids like to hang out with better groomed people. Here are ways to look neat and professional.

Steps

1

Two weeks before the school term arrives, make sure to get to bed earlier, to get in to a good sleeping pattern. And try exercising 3-4 times a week. You'll look and feel better.

2

Go to bed early the day before so that you don't have big bags under your eyes. If you are a night-owl and stay up past midnight, train yourself a week before the first day to go to bed earlier, so it becomes a habit.

3

Take a shower (not a bath) the night before. You want to be clean and nice smelling, but dripping wet hair looks unattractive. Wash your hair twice, and scrub well, but not so hard it hurts. That will leave a mark on your skin. Try scented soap or body wash. OR. You could get up early, take a shower before school starts and get it dried before you get to school.

4

Lay out your clothes the night before, put them on the hanger, not folded, so that you will have more time in the morning. Pick out a clean, flat dress shirt (complying with the school dress code, of course) and a nice pair of khaki pants or a skirt. Don't wear baggy or super short bottoms, they look trashy. Keep them clean, and don't try the clothes on a million times. Lay out your socks and shoes, and don't wear a pair of sneakers; make sure your shoes are clean and dressy (e.g. leather shoes). Socks aren't important, but make sure they go with your outfit and comply with school's dress code.

5

Pack all the things you need the next day into your bag the night before so there is no rush the next morning.

6

Get dressed. Put your shirt on and check again if it's clean. Be sure to fasten up all your buttons and make sure your shirt is tucked in, this makes you smarter for your first day at school.

Get dressed before you comb your hair. Then, run a good brush or comb through your hair several times until it looks neat and flat. Boys, don't spike your hair, at least not today. Undo your braids, girls, and lightly brush your hair if you would like it to be wavy or curly.

9

Eat a good breakfast so you'll have plenty of energy throughout the day. Important: Make sure your shirt stays stain free! Put a napkin on your lap at least. If you are a messy eater, tuck another one in your collar!! Otherwise you have to change your dress again. Wash your face and brush your teeth afterwards.

10

We would suppose you to put on a tie. Be sure it is properly tightened and neatly tied. Check if it touches your pants at the bottom and is tight around your neck on the upper side.

11

Take either a tissue or a handkerchief and put it in your pocket. Be sure that your nose stays clean the entire day!

12

Put on your shoes.

13

Put on your backpack.

14

Go to school and introduce yourself! Don't be so nice that everyone thinks you are really weird.

15

Clothes. Leave your clothes as smart with shirt tucked in and buttons fastened the whole day. Remember it's a special day, so you will maybe go out to a restaurant with your family in the evening, so stay dressed up!

16

What you should do, before the first day of school, is if you are the kind of people that are so clean and shower every day before school, you should set out a towel, robe, slippers, a comb, and a blow drier on your bed so when you wake up you are ready to take a bath/shower. Next, you should set your clothes on your bed and make sure your socks and sneakers are on the floor right next to it. Always leave your backpack near the door so when you are leaving, you can grab your backpack on the way. It's pretty fun once you get to discover the game.
